The forum

HI I'm new to Linux so forgive me. I've installed Playonlinux onto my new notebook Acer Aspire One. It uses Linux Linpus Lite OS. I'm not even sure I did it right so have patience with me but I am willing to learn. If I go to Games I can see the Playonlinux icon but when I go to open it, nothing happens. If I put Playonlinux into the Terminal I get a whole list of text see below. I installed form the Fedora section and it is in my package manager. I've googled but cannot find an answer.Can someone please help me? I'm at a loss. Thanks.
